period on the Capital Market, unless it
does not appear to Nasdaq staff that it
is possible for the Company to cure the
deficiency.
The Commission believes that
requiring a company to affirmatively
state its intent to cure the bid price
deficiency and Nasdaq staff to
determine whether it is possible for the
company to cure that deficiency,
provides further protections to
investors, by helping to ensure that only
companies that are serious and capable
of gaining compliance with the Capital
Market listing standards within the
timeframe provided qualify for the
second compliance period. In this
regard, the Commission would expect a
thorough review to ensure that it is
possible for the bid price deficiency to
be cured at the end of the second 180
day compliance period and, if not,
would expect Nasdaq to immediately
commence delisting proceedings.
In approving the Nasdaq’s proposal,
the Commission recognizes that certain
companies that do not currently qualify
for the second compliance period could
receive additional time to remain listed
on a public market. The proposal,
however, does not extend the overall
maximum time of 360 days that a
company may remain listed before
delisting proceedings will commence.
Moreover, the proposal eliminates the
automatic nature of the second 180 day
bid price compliance period that exists
under the current rules. Further,
notwithstanding the change in
eligibility criteria for a second
compliance period, the Commission
expects Nasdaq to monitor companies
closely that are out of compliance and
use its authority to delist issuers in a
prompt, efficient, and fair manner
where necessary and appropriate, in
accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5100,
including where there are public
interest or other concerns such as low
price or market value, that make
continued listing unwarranted.
Finally, the Commission finds that
Nasdaq’s proposal to remove language
in Rule 5810(c)(3) will reduce confusion
regarding the application of the rule by
clarifying that there are no fees
applicable to a company which transfer
to the Capital Market. The additional
changes proposed by Nasdaq to the text
of Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(i)–(ii) conform the
rule language and format of the two
paragraphs and clarify that Nasdaq will
assess a company for compliance with
applicable listing requirements based on
the company’s most recent public filings
and market information. The
Commission believes that these changes
either clarify the rule or are nonsubstantive.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

For the Commission, by the Division of

by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Public Law (Pub. L.) 104–13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes a new information collection
for OMB approval.
SSA is soliciting comments on the
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimate; the need for the information;
its practical utility; ways to enhance its
quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to
minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated

SSA has submitted the information
collection listed below to OMB for
clearance. Your comments on the
information collection would be most
useful if OMB and SSA receive them
within 30 days from the date of this
publication. To be sure we consider
your comments, we must receive them
no later than November 22, 2010. You
can obtain a copy of the OMB clearance
package by calling the SSA Reports
Clearance Officer at 410–965–8783 or by
writing to the above e-mail address.
Benefit Offset National
Demonstration—0960–NEW. SSA is
undertaking the Benefit Offset National
Demonstration (BOND)—a
demonstration and evaluation of policy
changes and services on the Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
program—in an effort to produce strong
evidence about the effectiveness of
potential solutions that would improve
the historically very low rate of return
to work among SSDI beneficiaries.
Under current law, Social Security
beneficiaries lose their SSDI benefit if
they have earnings and/or work activity
above the threshold of Substantial
Gainful Activity after completing the
Trial Work Period and two-month grace
period. The benefit-offset component of
this demonstration will reduce benefits
by $1 for each $2 in earnings above the
BOND threshold, resulting in a gradual
reduction in benefits as earnings
increase.
The experimental design for BOND
will test a benefit offset alone and in
conjunction with enhanced work
incentives counseling. The central
research questions include:
• What is the effect of the benefit
offset alone on employment and other
outcomes?
• What is the effect of the benefit
offset in combination with enhanced
work incentives counseling on
employment and other outcomes?
The proposed public survey data
collections will have four components—
an impact study, a cost-benefit analysis,
a participation analysis, and a process

respondents
Survey
Frequency of
response
study. The data collections are a
primary source for data to measure the
effects of a more generous benefit offset
and the provision of enhanced work
incentives counseling on SSDI
beneficiaries’ work efforts and earnings.
Ultimately, these data will benefit
researchers, policy analysts, policy
makers and the United States Congress
in a wide range of program areas. The
effects of BOND on the well-being of
SSDI beneficiaries could manifest
themselves in many dimensions and
could be relevant to an array of other
public programs. This project offers the
first opportunity to obtain reliable
measures of these effects based upon a
nationally representative sample. The
long-term indirect benefits of this
research are therefore likely to be
substantial. Respondents are SSDI
beneficiaries and concurrent SSDI and
Supplemental Security Income
beneficiaries who we randomly assign
to the study (Stage 1), and SSDI
beneficiaries who agree to participate in
the study (Stage 2).

information collection.
